The 40th Annual Cary City Meet

Whoo Hoo -  it's time for the Cary City Meet.   Our swimmers look forward to this event every year.   It's an opportunity to see their friends from other teams, swim their hardest for points and trophies and enjoy decorating our big tent, eating treats and behaving like fun crazy kids at a super family fun event.   

The theme this year  is OUTER SPACE  and we will have an Out of this World Good Time!

What you need to do :

1.  Go to www.kfswimteam.com and declare your swimmers - Yes or NO before Wednesday  -  Yes .... I mean the day after tomorrow ..... do it now before your brain is sun burned from the 4th of July fun. 

* There are 2 AGE Group sign ups.

* There is a charge for each event.  Kildaire Farms PAYS for your swimmer to swim.   This is a nice perk that other teams do NOT offer.   Please don't say your child is going to swim and then not show up. Stuff happens - kids get sick but please don't "just change your mind"   They do NOT give refunds.

* Relays - if your child can swim in a relay please note that on the registration.  The kids LOVE the relay teams and it is so sad when we can't make at least one relay team per event.

2.  Please read the information below and show your spirit at the meet!

3.  Volunteer: we will need volunteers for the meet - volunteers to decorate - volunteers to get snacks - volunteers to herd the swimmers.   Little kids are in the morning and big kids in the afternoon.
